If you want to disconnect iPod classic, but you see the message “Connected” or “Sync in Progress”

ÂIf iPod classic is syncing music, wait for it to complete.

ÂSelect iPod classic in the iTunes source list and click the Eject (C) button.

ÂIf iPod classic disappears from the list of devices in the iTunes source list, but you still see the “Connected” or “Sync in Progress” message on the iPod classic screen, disconnect iPod classic.

ÂIf iPod classic doesn’t disappear from the list of devices in the iTunes source list, drag the iPod classic icon from the desktop to the Trash (if you’re using a Mac) or, if you’re using a Windows PC, eject the device in My Computer or click the Safely Remove Hardware icon in the system tray and select iPod classic. If you still see the “Connected” or “Sync in Progress” message, restart your computer and eject

iPod classic again.

If iPod classic isn’t playing music

ÂMake sure the Hold switch isn’t set to HOLD.

ÂMake sure the headphone connector is pushed in all the way.

ÂMake sure the volume is adjusted properly. A maximum volume limit might have been set. You can change or remove it by using Settings > Volume Limit. See “Setting the Maximum Volume Limit” on page 31.

ÂiPod classic might be paused. Try pressing the Play/Pause button.

ÂMake sure you’re using iTunes 8.0 or later (go to www.apple.com/ipod/start). Songs purchased from the iTunes Store using earlier versions of iTunes won’t play on iPod classic until you upgrade iTunes.

ÂIf you’re using the iPod Universal Dock, make sure the iPod classic is seated firmly in the Dock and make sure all cables are connected properly.

If you connect iPod classic to your computer and nothing happens

ÂMake sure you have installed the latest iTunes software from www.apple.com/ipod/start.

ÂTry connecting to a different USB port on your computer.

Note: A USB 2.0 port is recommended to connect iPod classic. USB 1.1 is significantly slower than USB 2.0. If you have a Windows PC that doesn’t have a USB 2.0 port, in some cases you can purchase and install a USB 2.0 card. For more information, go to www.apple.com/ipod.

ÂiPod classic might need to be reset (see page 58).
